Blessed Exceptions

My "God-Free" religion post is not meant to indict all American churches. I know of three for which it does not apply:

I suggest Southern Gables Evangelical Free at about Hampden and Wadsworth. My wife and I have attended there for many years and found it excellent. The gospel is presented very clearly and Scripture is treated with the respect that is due it. It is not perfect, but one of the best we have found.

Anyone interested in David Wilkerson ought to read The Cross and the Switchblade (there is a movie as well). He began his ministry in NYC by preaching to gang members, and he is responsible for beginning Teen Challenge, a drug/alcohol rehad program (that has, by the way, an 80% or so success rate).

Note, he does not bear any relation to Bruce *Wilkenson*, the author of The Prayer of Jabez (thank God).
